TANG NON COMMUNAL HOUSE – NATIONAL-LEVEL ARCHITECTURAL AND ARTISTIC RELIC

Tang Non Communal House is located in Thanh Da Village, Hat Mon Commune, Hanoi City. It is a religious work long associated with the community of residents along the Red River and Day River.

According to legend, the communal house worships Duc Linh Lang Dai Vuong, a hero who helped the Ly dynasty fight foreign invaders and was conferred the title of Thuong dang Phuc than (Top-grade Tutelary God) by the king. Local people revere him as the village's tutelary god, expressing the principle of gratitude to those who rendered service to the people and the country.

The communal house was built long ago in the Dinh-style architecture. Due to natural disasters and historical upheavals, some items have changed, but the traditional worship space has been preserved through many generations. Every year, local people organize ceremonies to worship the tutelary god, praying for national prosperity and peace for the people, favorable weather, and maintain many folk cultural activities, contributing to community cohesion.

With its outstanding historical, cultural, and architectural artistic values, Tang Non Communal House was ranked by the Ministry of Culture as a National-level Architectural and Artistic Relic on November 15, 1991. It is a meaningful cultural address, contributing to preserving the tradition and identity of the Hat Mon area.
